A couple years ago I found a website that sells what is basically incense sticks for deer hunting. they burn in a metal can that you hang from a tree and just smolder, blowing out lots of smoke. the idea is that they smell like things that are supposed to attract deer. they have some food type ones for early season, and estrus type ones for rut time. so not only is the smoke supposed to attract deer, but the smoke is supposed act as a cover scent to mask your human odor even if the deer come in down wind.

has anyone heard of such a thing, tried it, and know it actually works?

Some where along the lines I sware I heard some negative responses.... I cant remember what was said, and again I could be totally wrong on it too.. Im not sure If I would get fined for using one of those here in Michigan because of the stupid cwd, and the no baiting laws.

"If I pull the hammer and shoot this young buck, he's dead. But if I pass on him, the next hunter might not shoot so straight."

I had used them last year and had found that they do not seem to make a difference, at least for me at the time I had used them on my hunts. I will try them again this year since I still have 6 sticks left.

They are in the Cabela's catalog, and I have a Cabela's 20 mins., away so I bought some. I do not think I'll buy any again unless I notice with the remaing sticks that they'll help draw in the deer.

deer are soooo curious ,sprinkle vanilla ,Cinnamon, and they will check it out
